Yesterdays New Quintet Stevie

Yesterdays New Quintet Yesterdays Universe

Yesterdays New Quintet is a nu jazz side project by Madlib. He incorporates significant hip hop and electronic influences into his funky jazz wonderfulness, but whatever he's playing, it's magnificent. Don't let the jazz groups/artists he's "featuring" on every song, it's all him.

I've only listened to these so far, but they're both quite good. Maybe not mind blowingly good, but they will definitely be albums I'll listen to again soon... and that's saying something, since I have a sort of "one and done" attitude with albums.

EDIT: By the way, Stevie is an instrumental Stevie Wonder tribute album, which might be more awesome than the original versions.
